1ST NATIONAL SYNCHRO CHAMPIONSHIPS 2006
finally decided to get down to posting what happened from friday to sunday. i was gonna do it on sunday, but i was still so bloody tired. it amazes me how you can get like that from doing basically nothing. nothing strenuous in any case, but yeah. i've got muscle aches all over too, i think it was from the pretzel. or maybe i'm sick. anyway...
friday went for synchro early, at about five, cos the girls from speediswim were coming. was planning on leaving at around seven but i endded up staying there til like NINE, cos i was so worried and i just kept practising and practising. yeah, then went home and i freaking didn't sleep till like five thirty in the morning? cos everytime i closed my eyes the routine started playing in front of me, and i freaked out. i woke up at like six, so a miserable half hour? SIGH. got there at about seven and just bummed around cheering for them. AND worrying about not being able to memorise my routine element/skills. but in the end they recited to us while we did it. so yep. AND LOOK, AUDREY WAS IN THE NEWSPAPERS TODAY!
not adeline, not no one BUT audrey:D OH, and they mentioned elisabeth:D I LOVE YOU TWO<3 hehe. is that not the sweetest thing you've ever seen? i'll show you something SWEETER, AUDREY'S SOLO! (i refrain from using the word cute, as elisabeth constantly reminds me that cute is another term for adorable but ugly.
haha, ADORABLE AUDREY:D and OMG ELISABETH DID SO WELL! she got first for everything in her category, figures, solo AND her duet with audrey. audrey didn't do too bad for her age, she kept insisting that she got last, cos her name was the last on the paper. it took me like five minutes to explain to her that she had gotten FIFTH, and there were NINE people, so she was smack in the center(: anyway, elisabeth is like three years older than her, so it wasn't too bad. haha, she got the most cheers of all the contestants, cos she's the smallest AND the cutest:D but she really deserved it alot:D i mean, she's the youngest person competing in fina lah. hehe. her parents are super nice too(: haha, and elisabeth's brother is soso CUTE! he's the same age as audrey. he came up to me and was like, "jie jie melissa, are you competing in 16-18?" okay, FIRSTLY, he called me JIE JIE MELISSA! how cute is that please? haha. NO ONE has ever called me that. THIS LIL BOY HAS GOOD MANNERS:D haha. and he thought i was like 16! haha. or within 16-18 years old. haha. either way, i explained that i was only a year older than his sister. HAHA.
hmm. and JANOOI/DAJIE CAME TO WATCH! haha, just for awhile, but still, better than that SARAH CHIA who went to wildwildwet even thought she knew we'd be having the thingee. BLEAH. hehe.
and the star thingee went fairly well:D i think i passed nearly everything, except alligator reverse scull, cos my butt wouldn't float on the surface ): it's funny though, how they passed me for things i thought i'd fail but failed me for the things i didn't think of. for the paddle scull my butt miraculously floated:D and as for pretzel, all i can say is THANK GOD FOR CHERYL SEAH. haha, she had to help me with my stupid pretzel after they nearly failed me for my routine element. yep, but then the other panel somehow passed me without question for the plain pretzel:D
and the freaking thing was supposed to finish at like six thirty but it finished at NINE! bleah. so my mom and everyone else went for dinner for mama's birthday while my dad stayed at farrer to watch and support and video and stuff:D haha this's why i love my family:D yeah, but just as we were leaving they decided to do the star prize presentation and so we had to stay while they gave out all the certificates and prizes and stuff and GUESS WHAT:D
I WON FIRST! haha yep i was so amazed! and i think sera was too, when i called to tell her:D oddly though, i wasn't nervous before i did my routine and figures, but i got reallyREALLY nervous before they announced the results. hehe. yep, rushed to the dinner after that, but they'd all just finished. bleah. i was so super tired that i fell asleep after taking forever to wash the gelatin out of my hair, but that vomit-inducing smell still lingers. BLEAH. i slept at eleven thirty and woke up at like eleven the next morning:D amazing. i had no idea i could sleep for so long. HAHA. but yay:D okay, PICTURES:D
ME AND ELISABETH!
i look terrible lah, barely slept at all. SIGH.
